The title of this article is not consistent with the name of the subject, so I wonder where the title came from. A 2015 research paper, apparently in preparation - Davidsson, Elias (21 May 2015). "The bombing at the Ghriba synagogue, Djerba, Tunisia, in 2002". www.researchgate.net. Retrieved 15 October 2022. - gives the perpetrator's name as "Nizar Ben Muhammad Nasr Nawar" and also explains that the family name, "Naouar" is French for "Nawar". This explains the name differences in the BBC sources. Also, the Chicago Tribune gives the same name in a November 2002 news article - "France holds 8 linked to synagogue bombing". Chicago Tribune. New York Times News Service. 6 November 2002. Retrieved 15 October 2022. - while the name "Nizar bin Muhammad Nasr Nawar" is given in 2017 research - Zelin, Aaron Y. (14 April 2017). "Fifteen Years after the Djerba Synagogue Bombing". CTC Sentinel. 10 (4). Combating Terrorism Center at West Point. Retrieved 15 October 2022. - All these appear to be reliable sources, so I wonder if some of the original sources made a mistake with the spelling of the subject's name. Unfortunately, many of the cited sources require a subscription or are not available online, although the cited Boston Globe article from June 2002 does give the title as the subject's name, which suggests early media reports spelt the name incorrectly and it was corrected in later reports. Perhaps the article should explain this misspelling, or be moved to the corrected spelling. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 08:29, 15 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
